      But feels like this is in a veeery early stage. No writers or casting attached to it so far, what makes me think we'll have to wait soooo long for this.

        I'm guessing everything is getting put together (casting etc and the scripts there) and HBO have seen it and want to get on board?

Heck, even Queen Latifah got a nomination for a not so great performance. And I'm not saying CZJ is not talented but she was lucky being in a film that was very popular that gave her a chance to show off her vocals. Other than that, go watch Chicago again and tell me it has a groundbreaking performance?

          She beat Kathy Bates, Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and *cough* Queen Latifah. 3 of those had more deserving performances.
          Either way, an Oscar is an Oscar Timmy. She also a Tony. Not everybody has that (Mariah voice*).

          I'll be here for meltdowns when this is released though. :lol

              yeah it's only in development, it might take a while but maybe HBO work fast, hopping that they're the ones in charge of picking the scriptwriter/director and not Jen's company. I hope Jen watchs Narcos and other good films about this subject to know how it's done well with this type of stories

                  Terence Winter is back in business with HBO. The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and Vinyl alum has been tapped to write and executive produce the high-profile HBO film about notorious drug lord Griselda Blanco to be played by Jennifer Lopez. Winter alluded to his new gig for the pay cable network at the Writers Guild Foundation event earlier this week. “I’m still working with HBO and working on something for them,” he said.

                  The HBO film, now in development, focuses on the rise and fall of Blanco, the drug lord known as “The Cocaine Godmother” who revolutionized the U.S. drug trade during the 1970s and ’80s and became the most powerful female cartel member of all time.

                  The film takes Winter back to the 1970s, where his most recent HBO series, Vinyl, was set. Winter co-created the rock ‘n’ roll drama and served as executive producer/showrunner on its first season before the network made a change, bringing in a new showrunner for Season 2 which subsequently was scrapped.

                    I checked His wiki page and...

                    He wrote the screenplay to Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. [...]

                    Winter was a writer and executive producer for the HBO television series The Sopranos, from the show's second to sixth and final season (2000–2007).


                    This made me get more excited.

                      he's the creator and was the head writer of Boardwalk Empire and this show was great ! seem like the movie will be made by The Wolf of Wall Street & Vinyl/Bordwalk team it already has producers from that movie and shows, This must be the most talent writer she'll be working with since OOS, hopefully he's gonna do a great job here too and Jen better bring her A game!

                      If he just started I guess they'll film it in 2018.

                            He has mostly worked with Scorsese those last few years, if he could convince him to direct this.. just imagine!

                                He also did the Sopranos. They couldn't find a better writer .He knows about the mob and drug world for sure.I heard he's also writing another version of Scareface. :cool: I wait to see who the other actors that'll be in the movie.

                                                  we don't know, writing a script can take a long time (and he's writing 3 at the same time) then you have everything else I'd be surprised if they start filming next year, if SOB doesn't get a season 3 maybe at the end of next year but if it does I doubt they'd be ready to shoot in March.

                                                    I loved Wolf of Wall Street. This is fantastic news. :love2 :woot

                                                    I can't wait to find out about the director. Steven Soderbergh and Martin Scorcese have both directed for HBO before and Soderbergh's even directed Jen before. One of them would be amazing. Either one of them would kill with this kind of material. Hope we get an announcement soon.
